Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Let's go back to the room first."

"Ah."

Li Mo took Shi Yu Qiluo's hand and went back to the bedroom, closing and locking the door, all in one go.

He and Shigure Kirara might move from the bed to the table, then to the floor or even to the door.

The famous entrance battle must not occur.

That night, the night sky was full of stars, and the moon seemed a little dimmer.

In the early morning, a slightly intoxicating warm light poured into the house. Shi Yu Qiluo opened her sleepy eyes, but Li Mo beside her had already disappeared.

There is also a test stick on the table with two red lines on it.

His hazy vision suddenly cleared up, he stared intently at the red line, and couldn't help but smile excitedly.

There are four words left by Li Mo on the phone——

"Wait when I get home."

Volume 5: Ancient Terrors

Chapter 1: Fake Person

"In ancient times, a million or two million years ago, humans had barely learned to make tools. They lived in caves like wild beasts, eating raw meat and drinking blood."

"Living as a tribe, they made weapons for hunting wild animals, tying stones to wooden sticks and using them for striking and chopping."

"They lit bonfires to keep warm and drive away wild animals."

"They remove the teeth of wild animals, grind small holes into them, string them together with tree branches and tie them around their necks to symbolize their hunting honor."

"The cave is their base. Each hunt is split into four groups, all hunting together."

"At dusk, one group's hunting was still ongoing. They hadn't managed to kill a single beast today, and the hunger they felt caused them to look extremely haggard even while holding their weapons."

"It was almost evening when a primitive man lit a torch and went out with his companions in the forest looking for prey, even if it was just a rabbit, a snake, a mouse, or even a rotten corpse."

"Finally, before it got completely dark, they found—"

"A man dressed exactly like them, with his head tilted, was tearing the corpse of a large beast on the ground with his hands."

"The four men didn't approach immediately. The one holding the torch held it out slightly, trying to illuminate the man's face."

"But the firelight didn't make him turn completely. He just tilted his head slightly, revealing his face hidden in the darkness. It was unclear, and it felt very out of place."

"For some reason, the man with the torch subconsciously took two steps back the moment he saw the other man. He felt an inexplicable fear, but the others didn't react. The man with the torch thought he was just overthinking it, and gradually he felt relieved."

"What's strange is that the other party is as thin as them, but the body on the ground looks fresh. There are no companions around, as if he killed this giant beast alone."

"No weapons, no companions. No bone and fang necklaces like those they wear to prove their honor."

"Primitive people were just like people today, with two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears, two arms, and two legs..."

"Primitive people cannot speak, but they can no longer bear the hunger."

“The person holding the torch was the first to step forward, followed closely by the others. After approaching the strange fellow, the second person in the group began to communicate with it.”

"After a lengthy and inefficient exchange, the second person told the group—"

"It came from somewhere else. It hunted this beast alone. You can give it to them as long as they can let it stay in the cave where they are for one night."

"As primitive people, even survival was incredibly difficult. This sudden 'victory' seemed like a gift from God, instantly blinding everyone and leading them to drowsily agree."

"In the evening, the four of them were walking back to the cave with the strange primitive man."

"Some people couldn't help but look back. The strange primitive man didn't look much different from them, but they still felt strange in their hearts."

"But what's wrong? I can't really tell...it doesn't have fangs, or walk on all fours like other running beasts."

"The way home was surprisingly quiet. It used to be very noisy in the evening. The primeval forest is incredibly dangerous. There were constant scraping sounds in the grass around us. You never know when a two-meter-long snake might emerge from the darkness."

"But today... not only is the bushes uncomfortably quiet, but even my companions aren't cheering or jumping for joy."

"The man holding the torch couldn't help but look back, only to see the strange primitive man at first sight. His face was very standard, so standard that it was creepy."

"It's so normal, so normal..."

"Those holding torches couldn't help but quicken their pace, hoping to get into the cave as quickly as possible. To them, it was absolutely safe there."

"Soon, the four of them returned to the cave entrance. Before entering, the leader of the primitive group came out. The others stood behind, looking at the extra person in confusion."

"There were clearly four people out hunting, so why did five come back?"

"The primitive man holding the torch threw it into the campfire and quickly explained to everyone with gestures that the extra people were just those he happened to meet today and brought back to increase the number of hunters."

"As he spoke, the three people behind him threw the huge animal carcasses they were carrying next to the bonfire, showing them to everyone."

"Instantly, everyone started jumping around like monkeys, showing their not-too-white teeth, with the corners of their mouths raised, their eyebrows and eyes curved, and they danced back and forth around the campfire."

"Everyone knows that this beast will provide everyone with a good meal."

"Only the fifth person stood aside, staring at everyone with a strange expression, trying to adjust his facial muscles and imitate the same expression as everyone else."

"But he failed. The corners of his mouth rose to the parallel line of his nose tip, but his eyebrows didn't wrinkle at all, revealing his white teeth. The whole face was clearly a human face, but it was strangely incongruous."

"This scene, as expected, was seen by everyone outside the cave. Everyone stared strangely at this person who looked exactly like everyone else but whose behavior was strange."

"A few sensitive people instinctively felt fear, while the rest of the people stood there in shock, wondering why the other person was laughing so strangely."

"That strange primitive man also imitated the others and danced around the campfire. Because three of the group members were desperate to protect him, and he was only staying overnight, everyone felt relieved. After all, they were in numbers."

"That night, after everyone fell asleep, a strange sound came from the cave. It sounded like teeth grinding, clattering, and very violent."

"When I woke up the next day, the strange primitive man had disappeared. No one knew when he left."

"And the primitive man holding the torch last night woke up early from his sleep and came to his sleeping companion, showing the same strange smile as the strange primitive man."

"So, Otto, what do you think of that strange-behaving primitive man in the book?"

After reading the contents of the book, Kallen decided to hand over the right to think to Otto.

In the dense woods, the passage of time has covered everything for them, leaving only their footprints.

Although their footprints were quickly washed away by the drizzle, no one could recognize the way they came.

The girl and the boy's eyes met. The petite Kallen snuggled on Otto's shoulder, holding a book she brought from her family in her hand. The pages were yellowed and it seemed that it had been there for a long time.

The breeze blew gently, caressing the girl's long hair, which was as white as snow in the moonlight, and spreading the fragrance of irises all around.

She lowered her eyes shyly, and the corners of her mouth were drawn with a smile like a blooming spring flower, beautiful and gorgeous.

The young boy was so attracted that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

It was as if an angel had descended from heaven to earth, bringing warm love and longing.

Kallen and Otto leaned against a towering tree, pouring out their souls in the tranquility.

The bonfire danced with swaying movements, illuminating the girl's eyes and the direction forward.

As long as she is there, all difficulties seem to be no problem.

They snuggled up to each other, feeling each other's warmth, and each other's existence became everything in this world.

Time stands still, and only this moment exists forever.

The dancing flames of the bonfire danced with a melody of happiness. The flowing wind carried their promises, silently conveying the oath of freedom.

"..."

Li Mo looked at Kallen in confusion, stood up, turned his head left and right to look around, confirming the environment.

A dense primeval forest.

The location of the strange cave teleportation is generally not far from the source of the strangeness. You only need to walk a distance to reach the source of the strangeness.

For example, outside Saint Freya College, the gravel road outside the cabin, at the foot of Taixu Mountain, and the highway outside the haunted house...

"The strange source is nearby."

Li Mo frowned and looked around vigilantly. Apart from the bright bonfire burning in front of him and the big tree behind him illuminated by the flames, Li Mo could not see anything.

"Otto? Are you listening to me?" Karen asked curiously while sitting on the ground.

Li Mo then realized that there was actually always someone around him who was most likely to cause problems.

In supernatural events, living people are extremely easily distorted.

Therefore, before deciding to travel with someone, make sure that the person next to you is a living person and not a ghost in disguise.

So as to avoid being backstabbed at a critical moment.

and many more……

Otto?

She called me Otto?

Li Mo came to his senses and found that his perspective was different from usual, and he had become visibly shorter.

This wasn't the most important thing. The problem was that he wasn't wearing the same clothes he wore when he came here. He had a notebook, a strange pistol, a thermometer...

All the strange things he relied on for survival disappeared?

At this time, Li Mo finally understood what Mei meant.

He may have triggered a strange law now. Maybe this is a dream, or an illusion.

but……

Li Mo glanced at his thin body, feeling weak and powerless, and always feeling like he had no strength to use.

Even if it is a child, a boy should have some strength and not be so weak that he would be out of breath even after carrying a small thing.

He tried to clench his fist.

He felt that he had been weak and sickly since childhood, and his condition was only slightly better than that in the haunted house world.

Li Mo looked back at Kallen and immediately understood his identity.

He dressed as Otto.

There was just one strange thing: why didn't he feel uncomfortable? He didn't even need to slowly accept the original owner's memories like other descended bodies.

The moment Li Mo realized that his identity was Otto, all his memories suddenly became clear.

Francis led the elite of the Kaslana family to attack the Honkai beasts in the woods and did not return for a long time.

Unable to wait for her father to come back, Kallen went to look for Francis herself.

Otto Apocalis, the youngest son of the Apocalis family, was denied inheritance rights and, frail from a young age, was mocked by this martial age. His family's indifference created a free environment for Otto to grow up in. Although not widely expected by his clan, as the son of a bishop, Otto still held a certain amount of power.

Then came the popular plot: he was worried about Kallen, so he followed her.

In a sense, it can be considered as elopement?

Kallen ran away secretly, and if this news were to get out, it would definitely affect her status in the family.

Otto didn't dare tell the Apokalyps family because they would use this as a threat and do something bad to Kallen or the Kaslana family.

So Otto could only carry his luggage and try his best to catch up with Kallen.

As a result, he collapsed from exhaustion and fainted in the primeval woods, and was found by Kallen who had lost her way and returned.

Although he is weak, he is very brave.

If a child enters the primeval forest alone without adequate preparation, even an adult would not be able to get out, let alone a frail child.

Charge for love...I understand, I understand, after all, he is the first pure love god in Honkai.

Li Mo looked away guiltily. He had had similar experiences before and made a completely irrational choice.

"I'm listening." Li Mo responded.

The most urgent thing now is to figure out what happened to you, and leave the explanation for later.

"Hmm, so what exactly is that strange primitive man? Why do some people in the crowd feel instinctively scared?"

Faced with Kallen's doubts, Li Mo pondered for a moment.

What you think about is not the story, but the background of this world.

The story clearly has the shadow of evolution, from primitive man to modern man. In medieval Europe, religion advocated that God was the creator of all things.
